Meta Tag Generator

Generate HTML meta tags, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags

What is it and how does it work?

A meta tag generator builds the HTML tags that tell search engines and social platforms how to describe your page — the title and description that appear in Google results, plus the Open Graph and Twitter Card tags that control the preview card when a link is shared. These tags live in the page's <head> and are invisible to visitors, but they are what determines whether your link shows a rich preview with an image and headline, or a bare, unappealing URL. You fill in the details and the tool outputs the complete tags to paste in.

Getting these right matters because the preview is often the first impression of your page: a missing or wrong Open Graph image means a shared link looks broken on Facebook, LinkedIn or Slack, and a weak meta description costs clicks in search. The tricky part is that the same information has to be repeated across several tag formats — standard meta, Open Graph (og:) and Twitter (twitter:) — each with its own property names. This tool generates all of them consistently in your browser, so you copy one correct block instead of assembling it by hand.

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between meta tags and Open Graph tags?

Standard meta tags (title, description) mainly serve search engines. Open Graph tags (og:title, og:image, etc.) control how the page looks when shared on social platforms. Twitter Cards are a similar set for X/Twitter. You generally want all three so both search and sharing look right.

Why does my shared link show no image or the wrong one?

Usually the og:image tag is missing, points to an invalid URL, or the image is too small. Platforms read og:image to build the preview card, so it must be a valid, publicly reachable image of adequate size — and some platforms cache it, so re-sharing may need a cache refresh.

How long should the title and description be?

Search engines typically display roughly the first 50–60 characters of a title and around 150–160 of a description before truncating. Keep the important words early so the message survives if it is cut off in results or previews.

Do I need both Open Graph and Twitter Card tags?

Open Graph is read by most platforms, including as a fallback by X/Twitter, so it covers a lot on its own. Adding the twitter: tags gives you finer control over the Twitter card specifically, such as the card type, so including both is the safest choice.
